cured by combining the stair well, the
entrance hall and the morning room in
such a way as to relieve entirely the
cramped feeling so common In houses
of this size. The living room, dining
room and conservatory are grouped
to form a unit, It being the idea of the
architect, Folger Johnson, to arrange
the house so that the living quarters
of the first floor would present to
mind only two elements In the plan.

Dr. Klehle has resorted to an Ivory
Blames Portland's Climate. W. W.
Cotton, general counsel of the O.-W.
R. & N., at the meeting of the Port
land Raalty board, on Friday took for
his text "Portland's Climate," and
made an address that was a master
piece for its satire and wit. From a
quarter of 1 o'clock until a quarter
of 8 o'clock, he held his audience
fascinated, whether he was amusing
them, scolding them, poking full or'
trying to shame them. The point of
the address was expressed in his
closing words:
"Oo ahead and promote the local
things. Begin with the things that
are nearest to you. Develop the little
things, but do something, if It Is only
to start a canning factory in Oresham
or grow some berries on a piece of
land that I will permit you to ex
periment on. Develop the Willamette
Valey, see that the eastern end of
this county Is made the agricultural
paradise and beauty spot that It
should be. Keep down your taxes.
Don't stand for things and move
ments which you know nothing about.
Cease resolutlng and exercise discre
tion In the publlo movements which
you endorse. Ask for a strict account
ing for all publlo expenditures, and
put something over once In a while."
In speaking of the topic of the cli
mate of Oregon Mr. Cotton said:
"It Is difficult for a people to rise
above their climate. The climate of
Oregon is the finest that is out of
doors. From the first of June to the
middle of September there is nothing
to compare with It anywhere in the
world.
"The criticism I make of this cli
mate Is that It Is so-soothlng. It Is
especially soothing In the summer
time. A man can go out and sit in
the sun and enjoy it.- And he will
probably continue to sit In the sun
Indefinitely. The longer he elts In
the sun the more contented he be
comes. "And In the winter she air is soft,
and the man who lives In Oregon can
sit In the soft air, and he will con
tinue to sit there all winter.
"There is more occasion for sitting
in the sua in Oregon than any place
on earth."
Mr. Cotton held that the people of
this community needed something to
stir them into Irritation so they would
get up and do something. The climate
was responsible for their not doing
anything.
He poked fun at the realty board
for passing a resolution favoring As
toria in the rate case and then allow
ing the Chamber of Commerce com
mittee to get them to keep still about
it. He maintained that the public
docks were a futility. He criticised 1
the Zigler amendment which forbids
th vacating of streets. He opposed
Portland's going after the trade of
the Yakima valley, which he said It
could never get, because the principal
products of the valley were shipped
eastward, and neglecting the develop
ment of the Willamette Valley and
the eastern end of Multnomah county.
He complained against the policy to
get trade In Spokane's territory and
not doing as Seattle has done, build
ing up a territory of Its own. He de
nied that wheat was ever taken to
Seattle, through Portland, unless It i
was first bought and paid for. Ho
thought It was foolish for Portland to
try and get business from the Wash- '
ington railroads when the Washington
railroad commission was on the job
protecting the Washington shipper's i
interest and would always be able to 1
play the last card.
Bone System for Xrvington. The
predicament In which the exclusive
residence district of Irvington now
finds itself, when It Is threatened with
Immediate invasion by stores and gar
age buildings, calls attention to the
methods pursued in the city of New
York to meet this problem. The board
of aldermen ha passed an ordinance
allowing the creation of building
zones. In some it will be permissi
ble to erect only residences, in others
only factories, In others only apart
ment houses. A commission or spe
cial division of the city council, ha
been given authority to look after the
problem growing out of th passage
of the ordinance. The law ha not
yet become effective, but the- prelim-
erected for Dr. Fred A. Klehle,
enamel finish of the woodwork, now
bo popular. Colors that glow warm ap
pealed to him as a more appropriate
contrast to our dull gray winter days.
The woodwork of the first floor was
given a golden brown tone tinged with
mauve. The walls are keyed higher
but harmonize with the woodwork In
their contribution to the rooms of deep
rich colors that were chosen carefully
to reflect rather than absorb the light."
Thus far there la here no neighbor
hood development as Dr. Klehle is pio
neer on his particular terrace. With
the .coming of neighbors the street
should take on its full complement of
trees and lawn and flowers and realize
the picturesque possibilities of these
terraces.
The house Itself Is of frame over a
concrete basement and covered with
shingles and stucco. It comprises 10
rooms, two porches, several baths, and
the accommodations found In the best
of American homes. Folger Johnson
was architect and Max V. Jorenz
contractor.
lnarles for making it effective are be
ing arranged.
There Is some doubt as to the legal
ity of the ordinance. In anticipation
of such an event, written endorsement
of the plan has been "secured from
leading property owners and real es
tate concerns of the city, endorsing
the idea. Even if the law Is not sus
tained, it is believed It can be made
effective by the united action and
sentiment of those Interested.
The movement started when an at
tempt was made to Invade the exclu
sive shopping district of Fifth avenue
with lofts and manufacturing plants
Loud protests went up at the possible
destruction of values that would en
sue. Then the resident of upper
Fifth' avenue In turn protested again it
the invasion by department stores and
shops generally of the district which
has been preempted by the most ex
clusive and costliest homes in all New
York. These people have already made
two or more shifts because of the de
mands of the retail district. The
zone idea has now taken root and has
been adopted generally throughout the
city. The effort to confine similar
structures of similar purpose within
certain zones will be followed out con
sistently if possible.
The hope of the residents of Irving
ton Is. even if there Is no law to
cover the situation, that the people
and publlo generally will cooperate to
sustain the principle involved.
"It is a movement in which the res
idents of the entire city are Interest
ed," said William F. Woodward, presi
dent of the Irvington club ."and we
should like to see people of the city
generally lend their moral support to
the Idea."
Colombia River Property on Market.
Dorr Keasey ha arranged with the
Columbia Highland company to put
its Columbia river property on the
market for summer homes and general
development. The holdings consist of
1768 acres of river and uplands prop
erty, beginning near Bridal Veil and
extending to Waukeenah falls. The
Columbia river highway run the en
tire length of the property and the
railroad right-of-way of the O-W. R.
& N. parallels it. The company has
over two and one-half miles of river
front, but for the time being none of
the property lying between the right-of-way
of the railroad and the river
will be sold.
"The time is ripe," paid Dorr
Keasey, "for putting on the market

did the members of the United State

tries that they deem it their duty
especially the report 'the statements
brought to their attention by resi
dents of the countries visited, as well
as by members of the commission
from the republics of Central smd
South America attending the Buenos
Aires conference.
Without exception. In every coun
try they found the shipping question
uppermost in the minds of govern
ment officials, bankers and business
men. Practically every buslmess man
with whom the members of the com
mission discussed conditions empha
sized the absolute need of greatly In

Ners of the American colonies In the
various cities sous-ht every opportun

the commission the importance of ac

Why Enrop Enjoyed Advantage.
It was pointed out repeatedly that,
under the normal circumstances pre
ceding the war the operation of many
lines to European countries for both
passengers and freight, making the
trips in less time than steamers ply
ing to the United States gave Europe
a great advantage In the sale of mer
chandise, not only because of the larg
er tonnage available and quicker serv
ice, but because of the lower freight
rates enjoyed. Representative of the
American business houses declared
that it would be very difficult to ex
tend American trade with such a han
dicap. Carrying" Cost Enormous.
As a result of the war, the cost of
ocean tonnage to South American ports
has increased Enormously, and, instead
of an improvement in the conditions,
the fear seems to be well grounded
that they will become "worse. As an
Illustration of present rates, It may
be stated lhat, before the war, the
rate on coal from the United States to
Buenos Aires was 16 to 20 shillings
per ton: for a cinsiderable time re
cently it has been 102 shillings and 8
pence, Jind on occasions the rate has
been aa high as 120 shillings. As a
result, ctal has been selling in Buenos
Aires at $28 to $30 a ton, nearly $25
of this price being represented in
freight payments. Before the war It
sold in cargo lots at $7.75 to $8.
Rates on hardware, drugs, paper and
general merchandise have Increased in
like proportion, and nottces of general
advances approximating CO per cent
additional were given to Buenos Aires
this line of property. The opening
of the Columbia highway, with the
heavy traffic dally going up and down
the road, has caused a demand for
summer homes within easy access of
the city. We have sites that should
suit both the taste and means of
anvone, whether it be a rocky crag
with unlimited view or a garden tract
nestling among the hills. Osmon
Royal is associated with me and he
knows every foot of the ground. I
consider this a most opportune time
for such a development"
Wants Commissions on Xiease In
creased. J. Fred Staver, at the last
meeting of the Portland Realty board,
gave notice, that at the next meeting
he would offer a motion to raise the
amount of the commissions paid on
leases -under the rules- of the board.
The present rule provides that agents
shall be paid an average month's rent
for negotiating a lease for over one
year and up to five years inclusive.
Mr. .Staver proposes as an amendment
that the agent who negotiates a five
year lease shall be paid per cent
of the total amount of the rent for
the first five years of a lease and 1
per cent of the additional rental for
the balance of the term. The motion
will come up for discussion and action
at the next meeting.
East Side Valuations Determined.
The sale the past week of the ground
and buildings occupied by the Kennard
& Adams department store, on Wil
liams avenue 80 feet north of Knott
street, for a consideration of $50,000,
gives a good clue to realty values
of the east side in that district The
lease to Kennard & Adams run for
five years from September 1 of this
year, the present rental being $250 a
month, and $300 a month gross after
September 1. This makes the annual
rental $3600. The taxes on this prop
erty 'are approximately $o00 for the
year, making the net rental $3100 or
6 per cent on a valuation of $61,66G.
The property is lots 11 and 12 of
block 4, Railroad additiorrto Albirfa.
Lot 11 Is assessed at $7100, lot 12 at
$6400, and the Improvements at $6000,
or a total assessment of $19,600. This
makes the basis of the assessed valua
tion, $23,950.
The building is a two story brick,
erected 18 years ago, and occupies 90
by 100 feet of the lots which have 90
feet frontage on Williams avenue and
are 136 Vt feet deep. It adjoins the
premises of the George W. Bates Co..

Even at these prices, immediate ac
ceptance of cargo space was neces
sary. Bottoms are available in larger
proportion from Great Britain than
from other countries, and British mer
chants are enjoying rates 50 to 75 per
cent less than American manufactur
ers. The situation as to rates does
not obtain In the Argentine alon, but
applies in all the countries. A num
ber of notable cases were brought to
the attention of members of the com
mission where Important contracts
have recently gone to Europe, which
would have been given to the United
States, but for the wide difference of
freight rates, which made it impos
sible for our manufacturer to com
pete. Bates to United Stats Blgh.
It was pointed out by the represen
tatives of American shipper! in these
countries that very much higher rates
to the United States, as against Eu
rope, seriously militate against Amer
ican manufacturers In the purchase of
raw materials, which became available
to European manufacturers at lower
cost because of the cheaper transpor
tation. This, of course,, adds to the
difficult our manufacturer consider
in marketing manufactured products
in competition with Europe.
American houses In Brazil and the
Argentine Informed the commission
that they had been notified In the
middle of April that a number of
6hips now in service from New York
to South American ports would be
taken off of this direct service and
would soon make the trip from New
York via Europe, thus still further
restricting a service already so seri
ously impaired as to constitute a
grave menace to our South American
commerce.
V. 8. Unit Initiate mot.
The representatives of all the gov
ernments participating In the Buenos
Aires conference took every oppor
tunity to urge that the shipping con
ditions could only be improved on the
initiative of the United States. They
made clear their Inability to finance
new steamship enterprises, but at the
name time promised that cooperation
would be given in every way that
their governments could aid. It was
also urged that, while the present sit
uation constituted a serious emer
gency calling for the quickest possible
relfef, the development of the com
merce of the United States with South
American countries in times of peace
necessitated very much greater ton
nage than had ever been available,
while fast passenger' lines were also
essential if Increased trade and com
munication between the countries were
to be developed.

case was owned by Grace A. and C.
W. Udell. It consisted of 144 acres,
six miles south of Dayton, highly Im
